Staying Solo

Bigger is Not Better: Staying Solo as a Strategic Choice


Listen Later

Ever been told that when it comes to your business, bigger is better?

As solo business owners, we're constantly inundated with advice telling us we "need" to grow and scale.

But is that really the case? (Spoiler: it's not!)

In this episode, we're unpacking why the pressure to scale often backfires and leaves service business owners stressed, overworked, and disillusioned. If you've ever felt that nagging push to expand just because everyone else is, this episode is your permission slip to rethink everything and stay solo instead.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • Why "bigger is better" is BS advice.

  • Why staying solo is the best choice for many service business owners.

  • How trying to get bigger can derail you and your business.

  • How to figure out what your 'enough' is.
